E36 (1991 - 1999) The E36 chassis 3-Series BMW was a huge hit among driving enthusiasts from the first moment the car hit the pavement. The E36 won numerous awards over the years it was produced and is still a favorite of many BMW enthusiasts to this day! -- View the E36 Wiki

Starting a thread following my progress on the 91 e36 325i. imported to canada a few years ago. After the 96 rust bucket I'm eager to work on a car worth my time. I hope to do alot of swaping from the stuff I have so like the digital climate control, 18 button obc and leather interior swap to start, then a 5 speed ZF swap. thats my plan for this winter. anyone ever done the 18 button obc install? looks like a pita but I want it!

Ive had a hard time finding these brakes at all nevermind the whole set in one. Its always front set or rear set or just the trailing arms or whatever. So i think im going to go for it and just replace the pads and shave the rotors.

Got the M3 brakes, I will post some pictures later, but I got the trailing arms, knuckles, calipers, rotors, backing plates all the sensors for 470CAD so I thought I did alright, but I do need to replace the front rotors due too a warp in the passenger side, and the rear pads are worth changing. but overall they are in very nice shape barely any rust or chipped paint on any of the parts besides the rotors are rusty from sitting. very excited to install them.

more progress. got some M3 brakes, got my Magnaflow exhaust and AFE intake installed. still working on the fog lights. got 2 new front tires put on today and I cleaned out the trunk and to my dismay i found a pin hole that is starting to rust. anyways. pictures to follow

Hey sorry for taking so long between posts. finally going to be painting on Monday! getting the hood, driver fender, M3 front and 325 rear bumper and M3 side skirts painted dunkel blau. so exciting. getting the few dents in the rear passenger door pulled in the new year. and then I need to look for some used M3 coilovers or save for new ones before I can install my M3 brakes. kinda sucks but oh well.

wet sanded and polished the hood today(took 5 hours) looks pretty awesome actually. heres some pics
I'll to polish it again with swirl remover once more to get all the little tiny scratches out but I'm happy with it for now. for my first time painting a hood I think it turned out alright!
